WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: CAN SHOW TRUST SHEAMUS? CAN SHEAMUS TRUST SHOW? WHAT WILL THE SHIELD DO?; WHO WANTS AN EIGHT PERSON MIXED TAG MATCH?; JERICHO IS NOW DANCING WITH SUPERSTARS; AJ LEAVES HER MARK AT THE ANNOUNCE TABLE; AND MORE

The Shield thought that they knew their three opponents for Wrestlemania, but Vickie Guerrero and Teddy Long threw a monkey wrench in that equation and pulled Ryback from the match so he could face Mark Henry. It appears that the Big Show is poised to fill that gap, but is he the man who Randy Orton and Sheamus want to be on their side against Ambrose, Reigns, and Rollins? What is the next step in the build to the World Title Match? Ricardo Rodriguez had his ankle broken by Jack Swagger. Will Alberto seek revenge for what happened to his ring announcer and friend?

Show says that Miz’ comments would matter if he cared about what Miz says. Show says that he has been able to do something that neither of them have been able to do. He knocked out a member of the Shield. They don’t have to be friends and he does not like either of them. If they work together, no one can stop them.
